Why we celebrate Sri Rama Navami
Sri Rama Navami is a Hindu holiday, celebrated on the day of Rama – the famous ancient Indian prince Ayodhya. He is revered in Hinduism as an avatar of Vincent. Sri Rama Navami is celebrated on the 9th day of the Navaratri Festival. This is the bright half of the month of the Chaitra according to the Hindu lunar calendar. Sometimes the festival lasts 9 days and it is called Rama Navaratra.
What Do People Do
Sri Rama Navami is celebrated by the recitation of Ramayana or Ramacharitamanas. People sing bhajans and kirtans, glorifying Ramah, Sita, Hanuman. At the end of the festival prasada is heard. Temples are decorated with special yajnas, which are accompanied by singing mantras, offering fruits and flowers. Sri Rama Navami fast until sunset, and then comes the culmination of the holiday. In South India on the day of Sri Rama Navami celebrate the anniversary of the wedding of Rama and Sita. In honor of this, a magnificent ritual of the marriage of the divine couple is held in the church.
